...as of halfway through last Tuesday's 20 miler!! Just totting up distances there as hadn't done it in weeks. As it stands right now, I have run 1053 miles in 2011! Mad Ted!
Well done! Only catching up on the logs now. Hugely impressed with that distance covered already this year. Congrats!0 -

Jaysus lads, any other animal you'd like to compare me to?! You're lucky I'm not sensitive and only cry over running!
Friday 2nd September
- 4 miles @ 9.18
14 miles didn't happen as a result of a bad (very bad!) lunch choice. Fast food lesson learned - I'm learning lots at the minute - mostly based on the fact that I like my treats but my tummy does not; particularly if I then take it running!! Bleurgh..
Saturday 3rd September
- 5.6 miles @ 9.48
7.30am start before going on duty - I've discovered that being a single mother of three kids is not something that would complement marathon training!!
Sunday 4th September
- 3.1 miles @ 10.02
Slow and hilly before the sprogs had to be delivered to various activities.
So I missed the LSR last week... it was a step back week so I'm not too worried but it's the first one in 10 weeks I didn't get in :mad: Also, only ran 31 miles which was a big step back in training which worries me. Unless it turns out that the break did me good and I'm full of beans this week...we shall see!
Monday 5th September
- Rest
LSR is 20 miles this weekend but I'm planning on heading over to the park in the morning to get it out of the way, which should be a good break between that distance and the Half the following weekend. Absent a long run last week I'm kind of nervous about it but I'm sure it'll be fine...oh the mind tricks!!
If I haven't checked in by 3pm tomorrow, don't call an ambulance, run for cover!! :rolleyes:0 -

A Fox? And so out of my league..
Oh don't be so hard on yourself. I'm only a little out of your league.I thought you said a Tiger the other day? :pac:
No I think he meant a Liger. It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
Someone please...:pac:0 -

Tuesday 6th September
- 21.01 miles @ 9.49
Up bright and early this morning thanks to an alarm clock in the in the form of 3 loud children. No honey left so had to have golden syrup on my porridge - that was a nice treat :rolleyes: Headed over to the park in rush hour traffic on a miserable wet and windy morning...that was invigorating and motivating. Not! 21 miles all over the park. Ran up Knockmaroon (at 5miles) and the Kyber (at 15 miles) because I was really annoyed at having missed the run at the weekend and jealous at the tough route the lads did...well if the boys can do it!!! The heavens opened and I was hit with head-on gale force winds at 2 particular points during the run - at the bottom of Knockmaroon and at the bottom of the Kyber.. I must have really p*ssed God off over something! The weather really didn't make for an easy run but I suppose it makes it more satisfying overall. Took a gel about mile 16 - wasn't gagging for it but figured it wouldn't hurt. Had been sipping on a 750ml bottle of water and high5 energy source every 3/4 miles or so and I felt grand on that. Found those few miles going around by the back of the zoo head first into strong winds pretty tough
and the pace and energy died a death but I powered on knowing the end was nigh. The last 3 miles were pretty uneventful - headed up towards Farmleigh and back around just to make up the mileage. Was glad to get back to the car - soaked and wrecked but delighted to have it done.

Liger - some hybrid big cats exhibit emotional or behavioural conflicts due to their mixed ancestry...... 0 -

I thought you were cutting back on the mileage
I am in general but I'm not slacking on the long runs. Still doing the weekly LSR as prescribed by P&D. Had time yesterday so decided to get it out of the way and have a good recovery time before the Half next week.
Legs actually feel alright today. Will try to get out for a few recovery miles this evening. Although, I'm not feeling great - there's something flu-like going on in my head and sinuses :mad: Hopefully a few OTC drugs will shift that asap.0 -

Wednesday 7th September
- Sick day
Thursday 8th September
- 5 miles @ 10:02
Cold stayed in the head and away from the chest so went out for an easy one.
Friday 9th September
- 6 miles @ 9.20
Still not feeling great and started to get chills around 5miles but glad to get out and felt grand (if a little sniffly) once I got home and had a hot shower.
Saturday 10th September
- 5 miles @ 9.43
Took it easy again as the cold lingers
Sunday 11th December
- Rest
Got into my gear for a handy 5 miler but was not feeling it at all so bailed back inside for a pot of tea and a chocolate bar.. oops. Oh well, that was a once off! Needed a rest day too.
37 miles for the week anyway so not the worst.
Going to do 3 handy 5/6 milers today, tomorrow and Wednesday and then rest up for Saturday and see how the Half goes. Not feeling uber confident with these gales raging though..hopefully that'll pass.0 -

Monday 12th September
- 6 miles @ 9.20 (ish) (I think - can't find Garmin plug!)
Headed up to Marlay to experience every single season in as short a period of time as possible. It lashed so I sat in the car for a few mins. Then I put on a rain jacket and ventured out to brave the gales. After the first lap, I was melting in the sun. Legs felt sh*te and felt pretty weak depsite a good lunch. I hate sickness. Grrr. Good to get done though.
Tuesday 13th September
- Pilates - had to go to a different make-up class as I missed last week due to being diseased. Twas a good one, the body needed a good stretch and seeing to!
- 4.3 miles @ 8.45 - legs felt good after pilates so belted off into the wind. Bit too fast though and was all tuckered out after 3.5miles despite the very short distance! :mad: Still not recovered. Don't think I'll be PB'ing on Saturday! The only positive is that I seem to have kept the germs in the head and out of the chest.
Wednesday 14th September
- Pilates - back to usual class. Another good session and much needed stretch. Am under orders to get on top of my stretching and foam rolling at home before I snap in half!
Going to do an easy 5 tonight and rest before saturday (maybe a 2mile slow loosener on Friday all going well).
Still undecided about the plan for Saturday with the sinuses acting up - it'll be a last minute call. If I had to run it right now, it'd be a training run. Hopefully that'll change.0 -

Take it easy if you're sick. Better not to run at all than run 5 miles and make it worse, saturday is much more important than 5 miles tonight in the grand scheme of things..... I did a few miles last night, but not feeling the best today so I'm gonna take another night off.0 -

So you think I should sit in with a nice dinner, a bottle glass taste of wine and a dvd instead of running too then?! Well if you insist...;)
An easy 2 mile loosener on Friday though yeah?0 -

I always like running 2-3 miles easy the day before a goal race (to feshen up the legs) so deffo go with friday if you're the same (and feeling better).0 -
